And Bonds, who admitted taking them, but said he didn't know they were performance enhancing.

Did it ever occur to you, that maybe Greg Anderson did not provide Bonds with any illegal substances and that is why he was willing to go to jail? I know I would not go to jail for someone that is guilty. People that deal with the mafia squeal to save themselves. I find it odd that someone that apparently provided an illegal substance is not telling on them if they really did do what they were accused of. Even the owner of Balco has claimed Bonds was never provided with any illegal substances. Now why would two guilty people stand by Bonds if Bonds was guilty?

Steroids are banned now, they were not banned when Bonds was accused of using them. And ever since they have been banned, the man has not failed a single steroids test. Not one big time player has been found guilty of using steroids. Guys like Benito Santiago was caught and has since retired from the game. Santiago I do not think hit more than 20 homers in any season and ended his career with no more than 15.

As much as I admire Mr. Aaron for all he has been through, but I have lost a lot of respect for him on many levels considering his position. Having been condemned himself when he was breaking the record Aaron should be ashamed of himself for taking any stance other than that of what we know. Even if you say Bonds took steroids, he has not been found out in the last several years. So until we all have proof and stop talking about hat sizes and how big someone is in their older ages, I think it is just wrong. I always find it funny how we give certain people the benefit of the doubt but we want to assume others are guilty as sin (Duke Case, a certain Yankee pitcher).
